Concern
over the deteriorating education system in Zimbabwe
National
University of Science and Technology (NUST)
May 27, 2008
As the National University
of Science and Technology (NUST) 2007-08 academic year draws to
an end, we note with grave concern the continued deterioration of
the education system in Zimbabwe. The 2007-08 academic year has
been characterized by a mass exodus of qualified personnel in search
for greener pastures in neighboring countries and abroad. It is
so sad to note that the National University of Science and Technology
has managed yet again to produce half-baked graduates. Development
at our institution has come to a standstill. Poverty remains prevalent
amongst the students' populace.
Of much greater concern
is the continued victimization of students and human rights defenders
by state agents in Zimbabwe. This victimization has even spread
to the rural areas where an orgy of violence is being perpetrated
on the supporters and activists of the Movement for Democratic Change
party by the so-called war veterans and ZANU PF militia. It is quite
disturbing to note that there is a clique of individuals who still
do not realize the sanctity of human life.
We would like to unreservedly
condemn these nefarious and satanic acts by the self-professed professors
of violence. It is rather unfortunate that those who purport to
have liberated this country have become more oppressive and repressive
than the colonizers themselves. Robert Mugabe and his bootlickers
are just aggravating the economic meltdown by siphoning resources
meant for development towards the sponsoring of violence.
After 28 years of servitude
under the regime of Robert Mugabe, the people of Zimbabwe have clearly
spoken and Mugabe has no right whatsoever to subvert and subjugate
the will of the people. We would also like to encourage the people
of Zimbabwe to remain resolute in this period of Mugabe's madness
as he is surely digging his grave as fast as he can. We would also
like to encourage the people of Zimbabwe to fearlessly go out and
vote on the 27th of June 2008 for the person that has their interests
at heart, someone who values life. We strongly and unapologetically
believe that person is Morgan Tsvangirai. A new Zimbabwe is before
dawn.

people are in power, crime increases. But the righteous will live
to see the downfall of such people". Proverbs
